MARTINS FERRY.

Riverview Cemetery, under its present
management, is slowly becoming quite a
pretty place, and as burying ground is
becoming more attractive every day. The
roads TO il have been put in very good con-
dition, so that il will hereafter be easy of
access at all seasons of the year, and by
next summer it will he IA popular place
OF resort as the old Walnut Grove cemetery
was before the cyclone. The price OF lots
in the cemetery has advanced from $50 to
go, and if their sale continues rs rapidly
rs during the past few months, another adj
vance will no doubt be made by the trus-
tees. One strange thing is the fact that a
very few people think of owning Gene
tery lot until some member of the family
dies. There are many people in this city
who are 80 located that they will probably
spend the remainder of their natural lives
here. To such it is important that they
possess a lot in the new cemetery, and if
it is the intention TO purchase lot the
best time to do it is at once, before all the
choice lots, either by position, or quality
of earth contained, are sold. The money
derived from the sale Of lots is used imme-
diately for the improvement of the grounds,
and every person purchasing lots is not
only procuring for Understanding which
he will surely need, but is helping the
trustees out in the matter Of improving
the place.
Your reporter visited the thriving city Of
Bellaire one day last week, and found that
our sister city is just as full of hotels, and
has as many flies on her as Martins Ferry.
Nevertheless, Bellsire is enjoying a first
class healthy boom, which will be aug
mented in a great extent by the starting OF
the window glass factories in the near fu-
ture. Bellaire is awakening to the fact,
that city is judged by her streets, the
appearance of her public and
private buildings, and other things
which may be seen by strangers who may
be sOiourning in or passing through the
city. Martins Ferry is in the lead IN one
thing at least we have no street railway.
What caught the reporters eye most par
ticularly was the elegant pavements on
Belmont and Union streets. These streets
are paved with fire brick, and under the
statutes Of the State, providing that the
cost of the Improvements may be paid for
by the residents along the streets. Your
reporter feeling interested in such an ele-
CANT improvement, made few inquiries,
and thinking the information CLEANED
might be of some interest to the people,
we will append little Of 1t.
The first thing to be done IN the matter
is for the city council TO pass resolution
] declaring its intenti1n to pave certain

source rs the latter. The material of the
demolished building will be used for other
purposes and the plot of ground, which is
now owned by the plant, will probably he

BASE BALL WORLD.
The Race Coming to an End-DetrOit a
Snre Winner.

The Race Coming to an End-Detroit a
Sure Winner.
Only one week remains of the champion
ship season, and though the pennant ques-
ton is settled the fight for second place is
warmer than ever with Chicago and Phila-
delphia practically a tic. This interesting
little argument is likely to continue with
undated vigor until the closing day of the
season, Chicago having five hard games to
play with Pittsburg next week, while
Philadelphia struggles with Boston and
New York. Detroit is having an easy fin
ish and the team is cow stronger and better
in every W ay than at any previous time
this season. Though not so high in per-
centage as last year, when they took
second place, the coming champions will
have quite a margin to 90 on. Chicago
found Pittsburg the usual stumbling block
the past week and dropped off somewhat,
Philadelphia by steady work moving right
along. New York has fallen nine points
and is not likely to do better than fourth.
Boston has run along Just about even and
another week might see the club trade
places with Mutrie's men, though it is not
probable Pittsburg has gone backwards
eight points, but is still fOrty-nine points
ahead of Washington and therefore in little
danger OF losing sixth place, especially as
the Senators have New York and B ston
to fight. Pittsburg is making consider
ably better showing than did the st. LOUIS
Maroons, who finished sixth last year. II
is not satisfactory, however.

Mr.. A. A. Carlton, of the General Exec
utive Board of the Knights of Labor, says
of the 60, 900 men on strike in the an
thracite region for 8 per cent advance only
! Is, 900 are now out. Cox & Pardee is the
only fra that refuses the advance.
Among the Evanston coal used on the
railroad, says the Auburn, Cal, Republican,
some pieces were found on an engine al
the station the other day which contain
streaks of beautiful white quartz. The
specimens are very handsome. When
coal shall be used for jewelry settings, per-
haps the price of mining will advance to
roast beef rates.
Leavenworth, Kansas, had big lime on
September %, upon the opening of the
Riverside coal shaft. The Board of Trade
has passed resolutions describing the
splendid coal bases Surrounding the town,
and stating that 20 coal shafts of 10000
bushels capacity per day would not supply
the demand of the outlying territory, and
favoring the voting of $4,000 in 5 per
cent bonds as a subsidy to each of two or
more coal shafts within the city limits.
The report OF the Board of Engineers on
the valuation of the MonOngahela Naviga-
ton COmpany's slackwater values the
works at 81, 0OO, 900, basing its estimate on
the fact that the actual value of the stock
was $50 share before the agitation for a
free river began, calculated on basis OF
Al per cent interest The board says that
the figures before it, while showing that
the company expended for construction
and repairs to the close of the last year
50, O33, 531 81, shows also that it received
in tolls about s., 909, 1872, and there has
been paid to the stockholders, in addition
to stock dividends, cash dividends,
amounting TO about 81, 100000.
In 1885 the coal raised in North Stafford
shire amounted to 4.Sl5, 900 tons. The
certiicated managers state that blasting
by means of ordinary powder has been
given mp as quite unsafe in some of the
mines in this district for years, but since
the introduction of the gelatinOus COM
pounds and the water cartridges with cleo
trio firing apparatus we have been en-
plOying the system for nearly two years,
at this moment its adoption is daily in
creasing, and not one single case of acct
dent has occurred, while some POO, 900
shots have been fired. In the question of
cost the new system compares favOrably
with the use Of powder and Old-iashioned
fuse, and on the average the expense is no
greater, while the coal is got in an equally
good if not better condition, but above all
is the sense of security experienced by the
wOrkmen and managers, owing to the
killing of the flames on the explosion OF
each shot"
A patent has just been taken out by a
man named Carr for au instrument which
called "carbella." IL is constructed
somewhat on the plan OF an umbrella, and
is intended to protect miners from the Wa
ter coming from the roof in wet places. 1t
is arranged in such q manner that it does
not interfere in any way with the work Of
the miner in drilling or loading and still
keeps him perfectly dry, and when blast
is to be fired it takes but minute to re-
move it.

MINES AND MINERS.

Soft coal is in demand all along the line.
British Columbia exported %, 225 tons
of coal in August.
There is complaint OF lack OF ears on the
Il. & O., hence interference with prompt

The seam Of coal known Is the b OF
Davis vein, back of the station at OSceOla,
Pa, is to be surveyed into suitable tracts
and put upon the market for lease.
The prospects are good for complete re-
sumption in the anthracite region. The
main loss at this writing is the 10000
tons weekly production in the Lehigh.
All work save that of the fremen and
pumpmen has ceased at the Glendon col
lery, and it looks as though the operators
intend to sacrifice their fall trade rather
than give the advance.
Anthracite is in demand, and the Job
oerS, dealers, producers and carriers are
well supplied with orders. Aside from

In the machine shops and car and loco
motive works, as well as in the ship-yards
and tool works, employment will be more

So far this month SO, no laborers struck,
three-fourths Of whom were miners. One
thousand Boston cigarmakers struck
against the employment of apprentices,
and 2, 500 ironworkers and others struck
ut Pittsburgh.
Strange as il may seem, after all our ex-
traOrdinary expansion in iron and steel
making, consumers are obliged to import
large quantities of sheet, sectional iron and
hoops. Low prices have something 10 do
